  • (Public Pack)Cycle Superhighway Supplement Agenda Supplement
    Public Document Pack Planning and Transportation Committee Date: TUESDAY, 24 FEBRUARY 2015 Time: 11.00 am Venue: LIVERY HALL - GUILDHALL ITEM 10 CYCLE SUPERHIGHWAYS - APPENDIX John Barradell Town Clerk and Chief Executive This page is intentionally left blank Board Date: 4 February 2015 Item 7: Proposed Cycle Superhighways Schemes This paper will be considered in public 1 Summary 1.1 TfL’s Road Modernisation Plan is designed to get more from the road network and help London grow. It contains five core portfolios, which together make up the £4bn roads investment in Surface Transport’s ten year business plan. The Cycle Superhighways (CS) programme is a key element within the £0.9bn cycling portfolio to deliver the ‘Mayor’s Vision for Cycling in London’, which seeks to double cycling over the next 10 years and transform London’s streets and spaces to places where cyclists feel they belong and are safe. £0.2bn from the cycling budget has been committed to the CS programme, to provide TfL with the resources to deliver significant improvements, including the proposed East-West route. 1.2 The CS programme is essential for improving the levels of service experienced by the hundreds of thousands of people already cycling daily in London, as well as driving future demand for cycling. The proposed routes deliver the backbone for the wider cycling infrastructure proposals, linking Quietways and existing London Cycle Network (LCN) routes to key home and workplace destinations, providing attractive high-capacity routes for commuters and leisure users alike. 1.3 This paper seeks Board approval for the construction of four new Cycle Superhighways (CS), and upgrades to the four existing CS routes.

  • Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission
    Victoria Embankment Foreshore Hoarding Commission 1 Introduction ‘The Thames Wunderkammer: Tales from Victoria Embankment in Two Parts’, 2017, by Simon Roberts, commissioned by Tideway This is a temporary commission located on the Thames Tideway Tunnel construction site hoardings at Victoria Embankment, 2017-19. Responding to the rich heritage of the Victoria Embankment, Simon Roberts has created a metaphorical ‘cabinet of curiosities’ along two 25- metre foreshore hoardings. Roberts describes his approach as an ‘aesthetic excavation of the area’, creating an artwork that reflects the literal and metaphorical layering of the landscape, in which objects from the past and present are juxtaposed to evoke new meanings. Monumental statues are placed alongside items that are more ordinary; diverse elements, both man-made and natural, co-exist in new ways. All these components symbolise the landscape’s complex history, culture, geology, and development.
